one. He hasn't got his special com
mittee yet, and although he has stock
ofbull-dog perseverance and will use 1t,
the committee is not likely to come, as
the convention men are not very num-
erOus in the Senate.
"Some of the temperance men are
rather outspOke in their disappointment
at the new governors silence on thls
important topic, and comparisons not
at all favorable to the latter are made
between the positions taken by the
outgoing and incoming chief magls-
trates. Another point that IS being
worked for all it is worth by the anti
Biggs men is the new governors silence
on the subject of education. The record
of the Salisbury faction on this subject
is being revived and the claim made
that 'eddicashun' never was in their
line.
Mr.. Ware claims that his coal pool
brOwnstOne fronts were not built IN
Wilmington, but in Philadelphia. The
discussion in which Mr.. Wares re-
marks dropped was rather rambling,
and extended from the coal fields of
Pennsylvania to the lower Peninsula.
The Records successful fight in Phila-
delphia was quoted, the prices of coal
from Cape May Point to Philadelphia
and great deal of territory covered.
| Mr.. Ware seemed desirOus Of convey
ing the idea that the complaints existed
| in Wilmington on this subject, and
that the matter deserved investigation.
| Those interested need not worry them
selves much about getting their persons
and papers ready for the committees
inspection, for a leading attorney here
has his eye on the bill and he smiles a
peculiar smile when asked how far a
legislative committees power may ex-
tend, which, translated, means as far
as securing comfortable ride to Will
mingtOn.'
"Mr. Norney's oyster bill is also be-
ing handled by legal gloves. The
points already given are being urged
against it, and as the lawyers say it
could not be enforced, it will not pass.
That the oyster interests will receive
some protective legislation, however,
is certain, and bill will be presented
in the near future making three or
six months residence a necessary quail
to either fishing or dredging as Il pro
fession."

For the Suppression Of Bribery

Thomas B. COursey, who has been
voter for fifty years, he says, casting his
first vote for General jackson, and who
also says he never gave dollar know
ingly to buy votes, has addressed an
open letter to the members of the Leg
islature urging the enactment of a law
to suppress bribery in our elections.
We make the following quotation
3" He has been a close observer of the in
crease Of bribery during that time and feels
truthful in asserting that it has increased
from mere nominal to an extent so great
that when parties are nearly balanced that
none but the wealthy can afford to be can
didates.
" "Bribing. like thieving, has grown from
small beginnings. First, by paying deIin-
quent taxes, free whiskey, small presents
and finally by cash at stipulated prices
until at present the price is generally the
known needs of the party and the amount
Of funds at command 50 that where parties
are nearly equal it is only necessary to
know which has the longest purse TO Judge
which will win. This is a shame on t6e
manhood Of the voters and n scandal to
those engaged in the purchase. Yet there
are some, otherwise good citizens. who
would not blush to barter with n voter for
his vote as he would any other commercial
article" -

weighed all the others put together.
And more especially was it noticed
from the fact that Mr.. Biggs has been
more identified with a sentimentin this
direction than most other active politi-
clans; in his younger days working in
the temperance ranks and during the
candidacy for the office upon which he
has just entered, professedly, person
ally, a temperance man. In his lack
of moral courage to meet and declare
himself ON a subject that will be neither
ignored nor frowned down, he stands
in marked contrast to Gov. Beaver, of
Pennsylvania, who assumed the reins
of Government at the same time. Here
is the way he met his responsibility in
treating a measure so directly con-
nected with the interests of the people:
"The majority of the people of the
Commonwealth demand the right to
pass upon the question of the prOhi-
bitiOn of the manufacture and sale of
luIOAlCdJiuS uflukS WlIulll us lullJS ny
constitutional enactment. This is
neither n question of morals solely, nor
of partisan politics, nor is it believed
that the people divide upon it by the
ordinary lines of political thought and
action. 1t is, therefore, due to them
that the question should be submitted
fairly, fully, frankly and in such a way
and at such time as will enable them
to vote their individual sentiment upon
it. In the ordinary course of events,
such submission cannot take place until
three months from and after the pas
sage of a joint resolution, covering the
subject, by the Legislature which shall
assemble in January, 1889. 1t is be-
lieved that the pledge and promise on
this subject, which undoubtedly Sc
cured the votes of many citizens, will
be most fairly met, and most fully car
ried, by the submission of such an
amendment to the Constitution, at a
special election, when no other ques-
ton will engross public thought, and
when each citizen may vote his senti-
ments upon that particular subject
without reference to, or interference
from, any other"

No RECENT EVENT has so illustrated
the panicky and wild rush of an ex-
cited assembly as that recorded in the
papers last week where seventeen
people were trampled to death in escap-
ing from a concert hall in London at a
false alarm of fire. Without even the
appearance or smell of fire, only call
from the street by some one with the
intention of breaking up quarreling
crowd, there was a wild rush for the
main entrance, strong men, like a
rushing herd, crOwding down women
and children and trampelling the life
out of them. A noted fact is that there
were fre-escapes and a sufficient num-
Der of exits from the building so that
every one could have escaped even had
the building been on fire, but a wild.
unreasOning feeling possessed them.
and men and women with the impulse
OF children, without stopping to think,
as IS almost universally the case, rushed
for an exit to the place where they had
found an entrance.

THE fact has been made apparent to
readers of the daily papers, who so
frequently have spread before them the
blood-curdling accounts of people being
roasted alive iu wrecked cars from coal
stoves, that the great want of the aye
for the safety of travellers is a method
OF warming cars without using coal
fires. The inventive spirit of this uni
versal Yankee nation will be sure TO
find it iR time, but the wonder is that it
has not been done before this and the
horrors of each recurring winter and
the terrible scenes that so often follow
wrecks avoided. The New York Tri-
bHne referring to the subject of heating
cars. says that there are to-day several
lines of railroad in the United States
upon which steam car heating is sue
cessfully employed. The objections
than when cars are detached from the
engine at stations that sometimes have
TO be left several hours IN that state
have been removed by showing that
there is already in existance an effective
apparatus for storing steam, applicable
{ to precisely this class of cases. The
Tribune farther says that inventors,
patentees and practical mechanics have
come forward with evidence to show
that the failure to adopt any safe
method Of railroad car heating hitherto
has been more a question of finance
than Of mechanics. With such scenes
as that recently enacted at Thin. Ohio
before them, both railroad corporations
and inventors ought not to lack for an
inspiration to hastily bring about an
improved method in car heating.

THE temperance men in New Jersey
mean business, as would appear from
the following editorial paragraph taken
from the Salem Sunbeam:
The temperance people of this State
are making to prosecute a
vigorous war against the liquor inter
ests this year. A stock company, which
will publish temperance documents, is
being organized The headquarters of
the concern will be either in Elizabeth
or Newark, where a publishing house
will be maintained. The company will
start newspapers in Warren, Sussex,
Monmouth, Somerset, Middlesex, Nor
ris, HuCsOn, Essex, Ocean, Mercer, Bur
lingtOn, Union and Cumberland coun-
ties. The officers of the company will
have general charge of the papers. A
corps of popular temperance writers
will furnish the editorials for the sew
eral papers, while local editors will
furnish local news for each one"

For the Smyrna Times.
To the Teachers and School Commission
erS Of DeiGWdre:
AS Superintendent of the Depart
ment of Scientific Instructions of the
w. c. T. U. for this State, desire by
this means to draw your attention to
the fact that the State Board of Educa-
ton of Delaware has adopted and rec
Ommended the following books for use
in our public schools as the best means
available for temperance instruction
for our children: For primary schools,
The Child's Health Primer" for the
secondary grades, Hygiene for Young
People" for the higher grades,
"Steele's Hygienic Physiology" d"
Steele's Physiology is in use in
many of our schools, but the temper
ance edition has the endorsement of the
N. w. c. T. U. in its title page, and
that is the work adopted by the State
Board.
These books can be obtained of A. p.
Fluit, 1926 Arch street, Philadelphia,
who holds them in trust for Mrs. Mary
H. Hunt, National Superintendent of
this department. While our children
soon and readily learn to let alone fire
and edged tools and avoid falls, evil
habits do not give so decided or per-
ceptible warning, and their evil effects
cannot be too early taught; therefore,
to reach the largest number and do the
greatest good is our object in thus
urging upon yournOtice the importance
of carrying out the recommendation OF
our Board of Education. Any one de-
string further information concerning
this subject should address

Delaware Railroad Double Track

THE travel over the Delaware divjs.
ion Of the p, w. & B. Railroad" the
Philadelphia Record says, "has so
largely increased that it has been found
necessary to put a double track on a
portion of the line" The work on the
new line will begin with spring and the
engineers are surveying aud stalking off
the track 1t is expected to be finished
to Clayton by June and to Wyoming.
81 miles, by the close of summer.
The prevailing sentiment is that the
work will be continued from time to
time, until the track reaches from Will
mingtOn to Cape Charles City, a dis
tance of 200 miles. The work will be
comparatively easy, as the present road
10 so dotted with side-tracks, several
miles long at stretch, that they will
only have to be connected to make the
second track.
From the Bear station, which is
about nine miles from Wilmington to
Harrington, it is estimated that the
side tracks almost cover half the dis
tance at present. This change, although
there have been few accidents on this
road, will enable the road with its rap.
idly increasing business to handle mat
ter with greater safety aud dispatch.

THE Legislature is now on its fourth
week with practically no legislation to
show for it. True, they have the filling
of the offices at their disposal out of the
way, o. S. Senator, State Treasurer
and Auditor, (which seems to have
been of more absorbing interest than
anything else) and now that these ex-
citing topics are settled, let US hope
that they will get down to the business
legitimately belonging to the purposes
for which they were elected. Four
more weeks will bring us to the ap-
proach of Spring, when the minds of
the agricultural members will be divided
with home duties. Up to the close of
last week not a single one of those
reform measures we have heard so
much about had been proposed. Is
one faction waiting for the other to
lead off?

THE tendency towards disintegration
in the knights of Labor organization,
says the Philadelphia Press, is shown by
the secession of 500 journeymen tailOrs
of Philadelphia this week, with 200
more seriously contemplating the same
step. Last week 600 Philadelphia bar
bers gave up their Knights charter.
Experience shows that the smaller or
carnations are better adapted to the
varying needs and conditions of the
workingmen. Unless Mr.. POwderly
can devise some means to stop this
exodus of errant Knights his grand
scheme for the confederation of all the
trades will not be realized in the pres
ent generation.

A Misstatement Corrected.

Mr.. EDITOR Your Dover cores
pOndent of last weeks issue indulged in
a statement with regard to Mr.. Snow
den's marriage in that town which
seems to me worthy to be characterized
not only as false in almost every par
ticular bat malicious in the spirit it
suggests, as far as the officiating min
lister is concerned. | therefore beg to
make the following statement and
vouch for the truth as It really IS /:
From the relationship of the parties
both being cousins to the officiating
minister's wife-Rev. II. 5. Thompson
was requested to perform the ceremony
as soon as the engagement was an
nounced. At Mr.. Snowden's request
Mr.. Thompson wrote to engage the
church for the service. and addressed n
letter to the pastor Ofthe Dover church,
in which he spoke of the relationship
of the parties as the ground OF their re-
quest that he should perform the GER
emony, and asking him to secure for
them from the trustees the use of the
church for the service. Mr.. Martindale
replied that he would present the re-
ouest. but would assure him before
hand that the use of the church would
be granted. A short time before the
service Mr.. Thompson called at Mr..
Martindale's house, and not finding
him at home, stated to his daughter
that he would call again, but an en-
gagement prevented. Mr.. Thompson
looked for Mr.. Martindale immedi-
ately before the ceremony began, but
subsequently learned that he was en-
gagged in a similar ceremony at his own
parsonage. The attempt to make mis-
chief where no misunderstanding exists
between the ministers concerned, will
be rated at its proper worth by ali who
care to give the matter single thought
The inuendoes with regard to Mr.
Thompson's chances for preaching IN
that church" are of too petty and mean
a character to deserve reply.

The Legislatnre.

But little legislative work was done
last week before or after the Inaugural
ton. A correspondent of the Mornin0
NelUs thus states the position of affairs
lone of the topics of discussion lust
now is the effort being made In the
Senate to have a special committee an
pointed on constitutional reform. Dr
Martin, the author of the movement
holds that this matter cannot receive
the justice due from the standing com
mittee. The doctor is in favor of a
convention, first, last and all the time.
and is radically opposed to any more
tinkering. He thinks the instrument
has been parceed enough and wants

The proceedings in Congress during
the last week in regard to the fisheries
have, says the New York Tribune,
finally convinced the British that the
American people are really determined
not to be imposed upon in the matter;
and that conviction has found express
sion in various ways. Small Tory
journals talk about yankee inso-
lence," but newspapers of influence like
the Spectator hope that the difficulties
may speedily be arranged. This shows
what little frmness at Washington
will do. 1t is lamentable that the
President and his Secretary of State
cannot be relied upon to deepen the
favorable impression made by the Sen
ate and the House.

For the
Kenton.

The KentOn Lyccum, which was or
ganized on the evening of January
18th, met last Saturday evening in its
first regular meeting. At this meeting
the membership of the Lyceum was
largely increased, so that now its sue
cess, financially, is well assured. The
Town Hall was filled. The Lyceum is
to support two society papers, one of
which is to he read at alternate meet
ings. The first of these papers was
read on Saturday evening, and the au-
dience was highly gratified and none
the less surprised at the able efforts
shown in the contributions. A humer-
Gus reading was given from Mark
Twain, and then the District Repre-
sentation question was ably debated.
The decision was rendered in the neg
ative-that Delaware should not have
smaller legislative districts than coun-
ties. 1t is needless to say that the
judges were Democrats. Next Satur-
day evening the question, Resolved,
that the respective counties ofthe State
be allowed to vote for Local Option, -
will be discussed.
